Berlin (ddp). After the recent wave of outrage against the planned package of head, Federal Health Minister Philipp Rösler (FDP) will revise its reform model. Roesler said with the leader of the CDU, CSU and FDP he had agreed to increase the savings in the health system, on Friday in Berlin. You do without this on an increase of the employer contribution for compulsory health insurance. Also, the package for insured should be lower. The bitter dispute with the CSU to the reform pauses in spite of Einlenkens. The opposition considers Rösler with his project failed.

2011 Four billion euros in the statutory health insurance are to be saved after the new plans. Of the expected deficit of 11 billion euro in the system, then seven billion remained to cover. The gap wants to further close Rösler through an income-independent supply package. The recent additional contributions be expanded to do so. So far amounts of up to 30 euros had been monthly talking, who is to pay each insured from 2011. Rösler spoke now of between 15 and 20 euros.

Further, for low-paid, there will be a social balance. To Rösler receives additional EUR two billion to as he announced for 2011 from tax revenue. The idea of differentiated contributions according to income level remain but a «option». Roesler said the Coalition will be discussed in the next two weeks on this model and then adopt it at a private meeting.

The Minister had disclosed plans to introduce a package of the head on Wednesday. To include a 30-Euro flat rate and an increase in the employer’s contribution was. The project sparked but violent protests. Opposition, trade unions and social organizations opposed the plans. A rugged no came also from the CSU.

Rösler sharply criticized the behavior of the coalition partner. He was “outraged” that a party as a member of the Federal Government was not prepared to take on the responsibility.

CSU Chairman Horst Seehofer said it was «right, that the Coalition it has agreed to look now primarily on the expenditure side and get spending under control». From tax revenue, a head flat rate is not to finance. It is therefore «obvious that one first takes care of the expenditure and not to the increase in revenue. Seehofer did not give concrete proposals for savings.

The opposition considers final Roesler in the face of resistance from the own Coalition series failed. SPD Secretary General Andrea Nahles said, Rösler should «himself at his word, and his hat take» Left health politician Martina appealed to the Minister, to accept his defeat and give up the idea of a head fixed rate Bunge. Also green Bundestag Group chairwoman Renate Kuenast said the CSU have Rösler «as gewatscht» and his reform plans «swept off the table. The «head packages reverie» is thus at the end.
